    I wanted it to be good because Cape Girardeau needs something of this nature. Food was horrible and overpriced for what you get. Organization is completely a wreck. The idea is awesome, but they don't deliver. We had a reservation and they knew we were flying into town. We did the pre fixe menu. At least 12 people at the table and 4 menus. Stuffed mushrooms were good. Everything else was underwhelming. Strip steak was not strip steak. Definitely nothing to write home about.

    Celebrations never disappoints! Their chef is so knowledgeable and will make the effort to come to your table and make you feel so welcome! The ambiance is very eclectic! Interesting wall art and bold colors in each room while maintaining that air of elegance! The food is very consistent. It never disappoints. I've been there a handful of times in the matter of a couple of years and each time it tastes amazing! Highly recommend!

    We love hole-in-the-wall restaurants, but we also love indulging in 'fine' cuisine. Celebrations is a true diamond in the rough. Coming from a city with a handful of AAA four diamond restaurants and several chefs who competed on Food Network's Iron Chef, and/or have won prestigious awards, we did not have high hopes of finding an excellent dining experience in Cape Girardeau, but Celebrations restaurant was a pleasant find. It is set in an old house that has been renovated into a restaurant so it offers that cozy feeling of a house. The rooms are small and are nicely decorated. There is even a nice small private room for a special occasion romantic dinner with a wall composed of strategically placed wine corks. We ordered off the prix fix menu which offered 4 courses for only $50, which I thought was reasonable for a fine dining restaurant. The first course was ham topped with an over-easy egg with a delicious fava bean sauce. It was flavorful and well presented. Our second course was a perfectly cooked filet of salmon served with a scrumptious corn succotash and tomato sauce. Our main entrée was beef tenderloin which was outstanding and cooked to perfection. The dessert was a raspberry sorbet float that was just ok, nothing to write home about. Our friend went with the server's recommendation and ordered the banana crème pie--the portion was HUGE and he devoured every bit of it. Overall, the food is delicious and presentation is elegant and lovely. Improvements in areas such as the in house air conditioner machine and a few other nuances (i.e. novice knowledge of the servers and bartender on 'common' drink terminology and cocktails and lack of common cocktail items such as fresh blueberries, basil, and pineapple) would elevate the dining experience. Celebrations restaurant is a true diamond in the rough, we will definitely return. Every experience will be exciting since the menu changes almost weekly.

    Celebrating the New Year with son had a delicious dinner the Lamb shank was my choice it was so delicious loved it with the Spätzle mushroom hash was so good. Son said the Pond and Pasture was so tender, the fish could had used a little acid but the skin was so crispy. Husband had tenderloin loved the house made steak sauce We had a lovely evening as usual. Dewayne' food is always a treat. Great service Chad thanks

    Complimentary banana cream pie for celebrating a birthday

    Such an amazing experience! Wonderfully timed service, a knowledgeable wait staff, and delicious entrees. We ordered a cheese plate that had great pairings, the Dory fish, and the pan crusted chicken. There was so much food - don't let the upscale place settings fool you! We were served more than enough food for leftovers and were even presented a complimentary banana cream pie for dessert to celebrate my birthday. We definitely recommend this intimate place for date night - so perfect!

    Beet salad & brussel sprouts salad delicious

    Josh provided exceptional service. Celebrations a mix of home town charm & elegance. Presentation of dishes done beautifully. Recommend the NY strip w risotto & Brussels sprouts- perfectly cooked. Wine pour generous w great selection. Owner made it a special night by stopping by for a chat. Perfect night .

    Martinis!!!!

    Only reason I'm not giving it a 5 is because we didn't actually have dinner there. We walked in for after dinner drinks and ended up in love with their dessert and cocktails. We had chocolate martinis and Olive Oil Cake with Orange Curd (the one in the picture).... OMG I'd never had that before and I am in love. With the cake was a vanilla creme brule'e. We also tried their homemade Banana's Foster Ice Cream which blew my mind. We will be back again and again for sure.

    Chocolate-covered bacon on a waffle with bourbon ice cream...wow.

    The restaurant is worthy of its name in that you celebrate their food and tasty items. The service is very good as well.

    Oysters Rockefeller and Duck Comfit. The oysters were outstanding. The oysters were small but…read moretasted fresh and clean. The topping was creamy, nicely browned and well balanced. It was served with focaccia which was lightly toasted. You order the oysters individually, which is especially convenient as you can then order as many as it pleases your appetite. The duck comfit was excellent. The skin could have been crispier but the meat was succulent and well seasoned. Served with miso carrots and Boursin potatoes. The carrots were glazed perfectly and were a good compliment to the richness of the duck. The potatoes were the weakest part of the dish. I expected more flavor. There was no accent of chives or perhaps some creme fraiche to provide a herbaceous accent and/or acid to cut through the richness of the dish. They were placed in the plate from a disher so it looked a bit cheap on the plate. The wine was a Le Volte dell'Ornellaia red which was well balanced and very approachable. Not heavy on tannins. Overall an exceptional meal for $75. I would recommend it!

    Amazing place outstanding staff. Excellent food was not a better place anywhere close to this…read moreplace. They really stand out and should be commended in awarded on every level. I mean I wish there was something negative to say so. It doesn't sound like a phony review., but this is truly a gem and should at least be tried once The the interior seating as such a bistro quality, upscale, but friendly, very professional, but friendly And I've been there twice now and I will say the second time I went they weren't open on a night they were scheduled to be. They extended their weekend for their employees and Restaurant staff which wasn't convenient for me, but I called and that's what a woman told me. I went back the next night, cause I'm only in town for two weeks and I've got the rest of the week left so I wanted to try it again and during my meal a woman walked up a staff member and asked me if I was the one that called the night before and I said yes and she said thank you for coming back and I said not a problem. I completely understand. It's nice if you were able to extend your staff's Fourth of July weekend. I'm getting ready to leave. I'm asking if I can cash out and I was told it was taken care of and I asked my whole bill and my server said yes it's our way of saying thank you for coming back. It was a nicest thing anyone's ever done for me in a while and I didn't order the least expensive items on the menu. I went for a taste good. It is a long review. I wish I had more time where there was an audio button, but I do want other people to read this. My favorite item on the menu is an appetizer is zucchini fritters out of this world, and I personally went for the duck confit , it's all great. Please try it out. Make a reservation to yourself a favor and just enjoy yourself. I understand the woman's name was Regan, would like to give a shout out to Regan and her staff. There a lot of great restaurants out there this one is absolutely one of the kind and it's not just my opinion, Ask anybody that's familiar with the name . Restaurants like this one needs to be noticed to be appreciated for what they represent, bring people together, adding Quality to a community serving community. And just putting really good food out there..
